Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

[Website Rob]

That's another feature of the mod. You can find it under "configuration", "images":
IH small image hotzone
"Set to 'yes', if you want the nice zoom overlay to appear while hovering the mouse pointer over the small images' hotzone only instead of the whole image. The hotzone will be defined by the uploaded zoom overlay image and it's position relative to the image (gravity)."

I've used the watermarking before on some sites.

Thank you Mr. Jade!

I do not recall seeing any mention in the IH2 Documentation, about looking under
Configuration > Images
and regarding settings for IH2. You solved the mystery for me of how to get Watermarking working.

Problem was self-created though, as there is reference in the "Readme" file about going to the IH2 site for online documentation -- which does mention options and Watermarking -- but I had never done that for some reason.

I'm not sure if this has been asked or answered before, but I did try a search without any results.

What I'm looking to do is add some text to each additional image. Say I have 4 color shirts, one is red and one is clay. I need to be able to allow customers to distinguish between the two. If this isnt possible, (for you coders) how hard would it be to add a function that displays the image filename minus the extention. That way I could just name the file the color and it would work that way. Well awesome add-on and thanks for creating it.

I think it would be best to mention the color within the image as well as in the file name. You would need an image program that allows one to insert text and/or resize the image a bit bigger at the bottom and insert color text there.

Id like some help with this if possible. I have been playing around with zen cart for a potential future project. I like the image handler contrib. However, out of the box it doesn't seem to be working. This is a fresh install of zen cart, with no other contribs added to it. The zoom feature does not work, and the large image is not large, it's staying the thumbnail size. Also, how do I control the image size on the product info page? It seems if i change the small image width it changes the size in the side bar too.
Test site is here. Thanks,
Josh

not a bad idea, but doing this for over 500 products and probably 1000 images would take a little bit to do..

If you use product attributes for your colours you can upload an image for each option and display the name of the attribute as a caption to the image.

This is a default behaviour of Zen-cart which I extended in recent weeks with a Mod (posted on this list) to provide pop-ups of each image too.

Hi!
I am in the midst of the proccess of migrating my old version of zen (1.2.6) to 1.3.6.

My problem is that after installing a couple of mods (including IH2) my main page wont display properly in IE..what I see is: featured products are being displayed in a snake like fashion, and there is an error on the page.

check it out here www.hbsavings.com/zen using IE you may need to hover over the images to get the error message which will display on the bottom left of your IE browser frame (site is not live)

Whats the error message? The only error I ever had on mouse hovering over images was related to a missing css file required to be inside the template css folder, I think it was called Style_imagehover.css , here is a link to my one, and I have used it on most of my sites, the same file

http://www.spottedhaggis.com/style_imagehover.css

The other alignment thing, I had that as well, it was all in the css file, padding, margins etc.

Do what I did, thanks to this forum, get firefox, install the firebug addon, and open the page in firefox, hit F12 and check uot the codes, it will all make far greater sense then.

UPDATE: I just looked at the site using FF and it loks just fine, layout is as it should be, so I guess the CSS for the template your using was designed with FF in mind more than IE, so your going to need to fiddle with the CSS.

I do hope all my learning has not made me offer useless advice on this, but I had the same, asked the same questions and fixed it.

Hey, thanks for the speedy response.
the following is the error message:
Line: 25
Char: 7
error "pageY" is null or not an object
Code:0
URL:htpp://hbsavings.com/zen

I have no clue what that means.

Yea I know, Firefox works like a charm. Most people use IE which means that priority #1 should be to get it to work on IE

That error is def the css file your missing. If the link did not work, look in some of your other template css files for the style_imagehover.css and put it into the css folder within your template, that should fix the error message.

The alignment issue is a real pain but its all in the CSS. Currently your watches are using 25% each, I would look into the css, it wont have a figure since you told the system to display 4 items per row, so add a figure into it, say 20% and see what it does.

I am no expert at all, I simply try something, upload the changed css file, refresh the page and see what it did, that way I learn a load about it at the same time.
